In the more recent versions of PostgreSQL, there is a sql command called
EXECUTE which lets you dynamically create and run queries through
PL/pgSQL.

http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?plpgsql-statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-EXECUTING-DYN-QUERIES

Hope this helps.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,
